The following interesting account of the late engage ment between the Anglo- Spanish troops and the Car lists on the heights of San Sebastian, is copied verbatim from a second edition of the Times of this morning. It is the best commentary that can be offered upon the correspondence of the Tory journals relative to the dioorganization, squalor, and cowardice of our gallant countrymen : ATTACK ON ST. SEBASTIAN - REPULSE OF THE CARLISTS. ST. SELASTIAN. OCT. 2.—Yesterday morning, about 5 o'clock, the inhabitants of this town were startled from sleep by the roar of artillery proceeding from the war-steamers in the bay, and battery on the islet of Santa Clara, in consequence of the advance of the Carlists in some force to attack the posi tions to the extreme right, occupied by the Chapelgorries, and the 7th Regiment of the Legion. At the first sound of the cannon the town was all a foot, and numbers hurried up to the Castle bill, to catch a view of the military operations, which, however, on that side, were neither very destructive nor inte resting, the attack of the Carlists on that point being evidently a feigned one, and meant only to draw attention from the real point of assault, which was on the lines opposite the fortified hill called the Ametzagana, extending from the fort of Altza to the batteries erected on the heights over the right bank of the Urumea. From a Carlist fort on the Ametza guna, nearly opposite Altxa, was heard as day broke the unusual sound of artillery, three guns, one of large calibre, a 24-pounder, having been brought up and planted there during the night. Under cover of these guns a considerable body of the Carlists descended the hill, crossed the valley, and made their way up the high grounds towards Altza, almost without having been perceived; however, at that moment, the increas ing dawn making objects more distinct, the Carlists were given such a warm and rapidly repeated reception of round shot, grape, and rockets, that they quickly wheeled face about, and being at the same time charged in the most gallant style by detachments of the 3d and 9th regiments of the Legion, they retreated down the bill in more than double quick time, and regained in some confusion and with no little loss their former eminence. After the failure on the part of the Carlists they commenced a heavy fusilade from behind the breast-works and entrenchments that run along the whole extent of the ridge of the Ametzagana, which fusilade was vieo rously responded to by the Anglo-Spanish force on the opposite lines, and kept up on both sides with scarcely a moment's interruption until 6 o'clock in the evening. During the entire of the same period the whole line of batteries under the able direction of Colonel Colquhoun, commencing with that on the heights immediately over the Convent of San Bartolomeo close to the town of St. Sebastian, ending with ' that of Altza, and comprising in the intervening space the two batteries of Colonel Shaw, one an eight-inch howitzer, one the Royal British Marine battery, &c., kept up an incessant dis charge of round grape and spbircal shot and shells. Great numbers of these discharges, particularly those personally di rected by Colonel Shaw and Captain Howe of the Artillery, were calculated with such beautiful precision as to ensure the most destructive effect upon the enemy, and the ra vages occasioned by many of which were distinctly visible from the confusion that followed in the Carlist entrench. meats, and the number of bodies that were seen to be borne away. Nor during a part of this time was the Carlist bat tery on the Ametzagana idle nor ineffective. The guns were plied with activity, and killed some ten or twelve, and wounded several more in and about the fort of Altza. How ever, r, after a fFfewhours, two of them b e c a m e silent, one of which, it is said, was dismounted, and the other was supposed to have burst, the sound of an unusual explosion having been heard from that part of th e bill w h ere they were nted. At 2 o'clock also the remai n i ng and larger gun ceased firing, it is supposed from the want o f ammunition and did not re commence until 4 . o'clock. Ab out 9 o ' cloc k the Carlists, showing a disposition to renew th e attac k on Altza, the Is; Regiment of the Legion was o r d ere d thither from Passages. Soon after its arrival, Spanish re g i ment having hesitated to . attack a forward position just occupied by the Carlists, Co- Jonel Kirby, who commands the Ist, p ut hi mself at the head of a company of t hat regiment, and dashing forward in the most gallant manner, drove the enemy from the position, not however without receiving in the execution of this daring ' ex ploit a rather severe wou nd from a musket shot, thatper forated the right arm and wounded, withcut lodging in t h e side. At the same moment Major Stuart, of the same regi ment, who was coming up to the s u pp ort of his Colonel, was shot by a bullet in the right breast, which however fortu nate l y inflicted only a flesh wound. Some time after, and on a pa rt of the lines near to Altza, where the shots rained thickest, General Evans had his right ear grazed by a bullet, but the inconvenience from which was considered by him too trifling to prevent him from continuing to direct the operations until their final close. Later in the day and in the same neigh bourhood, Captain Backhouse, of the artillery, one of the most sprightly and life enjoying spirits of the legion, and moreover an excellent officer, met his death wound from a bullet that pierced his brain, whilst directing the operations of the rocket company. About an hour before met poor Backhouse in another part of the field, and after a hearty shake of the hand, asked him how they were get tine' on ; to which be replisd in his chaoscteristic manner, and loud and cheering tone of voice---‘ , Oh, damn it 1 we are knocking them about like bricks." Besides death, the Legion has also to regr e t th e l oss o f two ot h er fi ne young m en and promising officers, Li eu t enan t s G art l an d, o f t h e 19th, and Jackson, of the 3d, the latter, I believe the only and dearly cherished son of a widow. P oor J ac k son , f rom hi s youthful cheerfu lness of disposition (for he was quite a lad), w a nd his gentlemanly ma nn ers , was a gen e r a l f avour it e w ith bis brother officers : and is very deeply regretted. Of poor Gartland it is but justice to his memor ) to state that, on my entering the house (not far from the spot where he fell), where lie lay stretched in death, I found some of the soldiers of his rogiment weeping over the body, and bewailing him as one of the kindest and most considerate officers that soldi ers cou ld wiali to have, for although but a short time with th e reg i ment be had already gained the respe ct and affections of those under his command. In the course of the day the Carlists made several attempts to approach the fort of Alin, hut though coming on with a formidable show of resolution, they were as often flung back by the impetuous and determined intrepidity of the regiments of the Legion. On some of these occasions the Ist Regiment of Lancers had occasion to come into play, though the ground was far from being favourable to cavalry operations ; however, they made two or three brilliant charges, in the execution of which they had two officers and eleven men wounded, and lost thirteen horses. Where all fearlessly and faithfully did their duty it would he difficult, if not invidious, to point out particular officers, or particular regiments. It cannot, however, be unfair or out of place to state that the brigade commanded by General Fitzgerald, was constantly engaged under fire, and firing from five in the morning until noon, when, from the complete exhaustion of the men, and their muskets having become foul from the incessant dis charges, it became necessary to relieve them by the brigade under General Chichester. From noon until six o'clock p.m., the officers and men of General Chichester's brigade carried on the business of the fray with the same cheerfulness, dis cipline, and courage, as those had evinced whom they relieved. With regard to any substantially beneficial result to the Le gion from this long day's fighting, during which several hun dreds of shot, shells, and rockets, were expended, and pro bably near 300,000 rounds of ball cartridge on both sides fired away, it is difficult to speak, for, in fact, the only satis factory result there appears to be is, that of furnishing an in contestible proof of the high degree of efficiency and soldier like conduct in the field to which the Legion has arrived through so many obstacles, preventions, and discouraging cir cumstances. Of this, no better proof can be given than the eagerness of the men, after being engaged in the field, and under fire for thirteen hours, to charge up the steep sides of the Ametzagana Hill, and storm the deep entrenchments and high breast-works of the enemy on its ridge. This feeling expressed itself almost in murmurs amongst some of the regiments at being withheld from attempting this feat. As to the positive loss occasioned to the Legion by the day's fight it is easier to be precise. The deaths were about 40, in which number three officers. The number of wounded was about 220. There were no missing nor prisoners. The loss of the Spanish troops engaged was in killed and wounded about 140, among which two officers killed, making in all on the Anglo- Spanish side a total loss in killed and wounded of 400. The casualties on the part of the Carlists must have been much more considerable, besides the loss from the bayonet, and the continued discharges of musketry, the destruction by round shot, shell, and rocket must have been very great, so many of these discharges having been directed with such precision. If the reports of some peasantry who have come in are to be believed, their loss amounted to be tween 700 and 800, of which nearly one half (a large propor tion) it is said were killed. On some of the outposts they admit themselves of a loss of 300 wounded. To this is to be added the shame of discomfiture, as they being the attacking party were foiled in all their attempts, and flung back from every position they attempted to occupy with loss and con fusion. But after all this fighting and turmoil, the enormous expenditure of ammunition, the deplorable loss of human life, and mutilation of limbs to which many of the wounded must submit, the plain straight-forward sense of England will scarcely fail to look forward for the cui bond, and ask how far has the Queen's cause been advanced by the affair of Ist of October. To such a question the only answer can be, that her cause has not been advanced by it in the slightest degree. But where lies the fault of this? Surely not in the soldiers, officers, or com mander of the legion, who have all nobly done their duty; but it lies where so many other grievous faults lie, in the wretch edly inefficient system upon which the public affairs of this country have been, and are, conducted, or rather misconducted, —a system marked by the total insufficiency of the means to the end, by a rash commencement of operations without the slightest forethought or preparations for their continuance and successful conclusion, by the absence of a prudent co-ordination in their plans, and by the utter neglect of co-operation between those charged with their execution. These are amongst the principal causes that have hitherto paralysed the exertions of the legion, and prevented it from becoming a powerful in strument, which it is now perfectly fitted to be, for bringing, with even only a moderate degree of co-operation, this exe crable warfare to a speedy close. But instead of being thus em ployed, it is kept here " cabined, cribbed, confined," in the petty space shut in bi the lines of St. Sebastian. That this nullifying system would have been persevered in under Cordova no one doubts, but better things were expected from his successor Rodil. However, one almost of his first official acts has been at variance with these expectations, for he had but just entered upon his office as commander-in chief, when he sent down a peremptory order for two of the best regiments belonging to the garrison, and mustering -2,000 men, to be withdrawn from it, and to join his army of reserve. But peremptory as this order was, it could not be executed for want of funds, and it was not until six days after its receipt that the regiments in question were enabled to embark, by General Evans making them an advance for their most necessary expenses, from a sum just received for the use of the Legion. Intelligence having been received that San Pablo, with about 3,000 Carlists, had marched into the Asturias, it was resolved to endeavour to get the start of and intercept them, by sending these two Spanish regiments by steamers to Gijon, a port in the Asturias. This clever and very practical plan was, however, frustrated by the usual inco hesent and irregular manner in which public affairs arc carried on in this country. The steamers conveying these troops, having touched at Santander about the same time that Cartor and a hundred Carlists were heard of at some leagues distance in the neighbourhood, the money-scrapers of San tander becoming alarmed for their dollars, and General Iriarte sympathizing in their fears, the two Spanish regiments, ho might have done essential service to the general cause it' allowed to proceed to their destination, were, on the contrary, ordered back to the ca.3t4ard several leagues, and lauded at Santona, there to await and secure the commerciantes of San wilder. from the very remote chance of any detriment happen ing- to the hard dollars or salt fish and flour. This is a speci men of the way that the affairs of the public weal are carried on in this country. _ _ _ List of Killed and Wounded of the British Auxiliary Legion in the Action of the 2d of October, 1 L 36, on the Lines be. fore St. Sebastian : Artillery—l officer killed, Capt.

OCTOBER 5, 1836.—The Pluto steamer not having been yet able to start, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather that has prevailed here for the last two or three days, I am enabled to add some further particulars to those given in my preceding letter. It appears, if concurring ac counts from various quarters are to be relied un, that the loss of the Carlists in the affair of the Ist instant, was still more considerable than what I first mentioned. Letters received from Bayonne put it down at 1,000 killed and wounded ; and a communication from the Governor of Behobie, makes it amount to 1,500. However beyond the truth these numbers may be, no doubt can remain of the destruction having been very considerable, for we have positive infor mation here, that the number of wounded was so great, that it became necessary, from the want of accommodation and surgical assistance, to transport a large portion of them to Tolosa. It is also known that amongst the killed there is one of their cleverest chiefs, Arana, and several other officers. It appears that great numbers of the shot and shells which went clear over the ridge of the Ametzagana, told with most destructive effect amidst the reserve corps stationed in the valley on the other side of that hill. A report prevails here to-day that the Carlist Chief, Cabrera, has been taken in Aragon, after the partial destiuctien and total dispersion of his band ; also that 19,000,000 of reals have arrived at La grono for the payment of the Spanish troops. The day before yesterday the last sad honours were paid to the remains of Captain Backhouse and Lieutenant Jackson, who fell in the field on the lit instant. The coffins bearing their arms covered with crape, and that of Captain Backhouse being overlaid with the union Jack, he having been formerly in the navy, were followed by General Evans and his staff, all the principal officers of the Legion, and as many of the others as were not on duty. After traversing the Plaza and some of the principal streets, the procession moved slowly up the steep path that winds round the sea-side of the castle hill, until it had attained within a few hundred feet of the summit, upon which sits " in cloud-capp'd majesty" the castle itself. There, upon a little plateau fronting the wide expanse of the Bay of Biscay, were prepared " the lone couches of the sol diers' everlasting sleep." The scene at this moment was in the highest degree impressive. The sombre and military _illsignia o f the coffins, borne by soldiers, ;the varied and bril liant uniforms of the officers, the funeral guard with trailed rendered infinitely times an i m p os i ng spectac l e , was on t hi s occas i on infinitely more so by the sublime aspect of the mountain and ocean scenery around, whilst its touching effeelcatnscwhoalsyrsetnrdaehrised still more deeply felt by the beautiful and m g a f r o t um h n e ud;m P r Portuguese Hymn obcye atnhe wavesr t o o c k t s h tl e , aatVn broke r r g o i k n e , which were floatin g ac companied by the wild at their base. The funeral service was read with deep and manly feeling by Colonel Col qu h oun , and the responses given by Colonel Shaw, both poor Backhouse's superior officers. As the graves were filled up, and the last farewell volley fired over the remains of their former comrades, there may have been dry eyes, but there was not, certainly, a heart that did not deeply and sincerely breathe a praye r for rest to the souls of the warriors. The remains of Lieutenant Gartland were attended Ly the officers and soldiers of his own regiment to the Spanish cemetery, in v. hieli, lie having been Catholic, they were allowed to repose. Amongst the singular incidents that marked the affair of the Ist instant, one of not the least extraordinary was the manner in which a 2 4-pound shot from the Carlist gun on the Ametzagana took effect upon an ill-fated horse. This animal, on which was mounted, at the moment, Adjutant Foreman, of the 4th Regiment, was struck by the ball in the head, which it shattered into a thousand pieces; it then entered the chest, and made its way right through the intestines, and out at the other extremity of the body, after which it took clean off a Chapelgorie's thigh, and wounded severely, but not dangerously, an Irish woman, who was in the family way, and had another child in her aims. The most strange part of the fact is, that the rider escaped unscathed, receiving no other injury beyond rather a smart shock to his nervous system. A few minutes after this strange event I rode up to the spot, and never before beheld so hideous an object as that exhibited by the mashed and mutilated remains of the horse. There was not the slightest trace of its head and neck, but instead, a wide and gory aperture in the chest, with a corresponding one at the other extremity. Verily, the rider may challenge all England, and the world to boot, to equal him in such a feat of horsemanship. Even the bold Osbaldiston himself would, I think, refuse to bestride a horse through whose body, whilst he was on it, a 24-pounder was to be sent, turning almost, literally speaking, the animal's inside out. The contents of the French Journals of Friday and Saturday are interesting, rather than important. Extracts from them will be found uuder the head " Foreign Intelligence." The CITIZEN KING has at last bethought him of trying the effect of a political amnesty on a small scale. Sixty-two political offen ders are to experience the first fruits of the Royal cle mency. This act is not to be understood as a "con cession to the exigency of parties"—as M. PERSIL diplomatically phrases it. No, no—" such a mea sure would be celebrated by factions as the disavowal of the acts of that courageous magistracy which has displayed so much greatness amidst civil discord." Nay, start not. We are really quoting the language of the Mi nister of Justice. Can there be anything, we ask, more courageous in a popular magistracy than the act of filling a country with spies and informers ; and the prisons with individuals not charged with, but suspected of treason ? Can there be a more convincing proof that a " Government derives its strength from national sym pathy," than such a mo:le of governing a free people ? We wish not to detract from any merit which may be due to the KING for the tardy performance of an act of Justice ; we only desire that his Ministers would learn not to insult the common sense of the people in the an nouncement of his MAJESTY'S gracious intentions. We do not find the names of the prisoners at Ham in the lists of those to whom the Royal clemency is about to be extended ; but we are assured nevertheless that they will be included in the act of amnesty. The KING, we are told, sympathizes deeply with Prince de Po- LIGNAC ; and would have long since released him and his fellow-prisoners had he not apprehended danger from the clamours of the Republican party. We can readily give full credence to this state ment. His MAJESTY must be well aware that the incarceration of the Ministers of CHARLES X. is not a jot more justifiable than would the impri sonment of Count MOLE, M. MARTIN (du Nord), and M. PERSIL within the same fortress. POLIGNAC attempted to extinguish the liberty of the press ; he failed, and—is a criminal, supplicating Europe to as sist in striking off his fetters : MM. PERSIL and MARTIN (du Nord) repeated the daring outrage of the PRINCE against the freedom of the same organ of public opinion ; they succeeded, and are—Ministers of State. The sole difference, in a moral point of view, between the dispensers and the objects of the Royal clemency, must be sought for in the failure of the one, and the success of the other. The Swiss question is likely to be left to the arbi tration of the British Gbvernment. Whether this proposal for the final adjustment of a very absurd quarrel on the part of France, originated with Louis PHILIPPE, or the Republic, we are at a loss to determine ; but we find the statement in a Swiss Journal, followed by a declaration that if France re nounce all interference, the Swiss Cantons will repel force by force. This is strong language. We depre cate its use by a people desirous of peace, and stand ing in the high moral position in which the paltry policy of MONTEBELLO has placed the Swiss Con federation. It appears that the present Cabinet is bent upon the removal of Marshal CLAUSEL from the chief com mand in Africa. The Marshal is a man of energy and courage, but his opinions are not in harmony with those of the President of the Council. He is consi dered to be too liberal ; and will ere long be succeeded by General DAUVRENIONT, who is about to sail for Africa, on osten3ibly a negociatory mission, but in reality to replace CLAUSEL, should the Government be so fortunate as to succeed in goading him to a for mal resignation of the command cf the army. The accounts from Spain, published in the French Papers, are unimportant. According to the Debats, MENDIZABAL had failed in the negotiation of Ha vannah Bills, and Treasury Bonds, with the Paris Bankers. Madrid papers to the 2nd inst. have been received. It appears from them that GOMEZ has actually passed the Sierra Morena, and has entered Andalusia. The conduct of the QUEEN'S Generals in leaving the narrow pass of Despenaperos unoccupied is severely censured in several private letters from the capital. This celebra ted pass is so narrow that 200 men could easily defend it against the approach of as many thousands. The inaction of AL AIX, after his reported defeat of GomEz, has excited murmurs among the friends of the Govern ment. The QUE'EN'S General defends his delay of four days at Villarobledo by alleging that it was im possible for him to pursue the enemy without losing 2,500 of the flower of GOMEZ'S division, whom he had made prisoners. To leave a sufficient guatd to protect them would have so diminished his force that he could not act against the enemy ; and humanity forbade the idea of putting an unarmed multitude to the sword. He had therefore no alternative. The inhabitants of Estremadura are preparing to oppose vigorously all movements of the Carlists in that quarter. On the 28th ult. 4,700 infantry, and 1,400 cavalry, with four pieces of cannon, were sta tioned at Tuxillo for the purpose of cutting off GOMEZ'S retreat in that quarter. Penas de San Pedro was also strongly fortified ; but, unfortunately, as we before stated, the pass of Despenaperos was totally overlooked by the QUEEN'S Generals. All was tranquil in the capital. Lord BROUGHAM has declined the invitation to a public dinner, sent to him by the Reformers of Edin burgh, alleging the state of his health, which, though now restored, yet will not allow him to run the risk of a relapse. It is satisfactory, however, to state that he is as sincere and enthusiastic in the cause of Reform as ever, and is particularly urgent in recommending una nimity among all Liberals. "In the reference," says his Lordship, " which you apparently make to the ne cessity of mutual forbearance among the Reformers, when they happen to differ, I entirely agree. I know we are of one mind upon the sacred and imprescriptible right of the people in all parts of the empire, of whate ver classes or colours or creeds, to the benefit of equal laws, and none of us can doubt the necessity of not merely repairing, but amending, and thus preserving and perpetuating our institutions by every safe mea sure of improvement, and with all reasonable dispatch. Nor do I in the least despair of seeing differences of opinion as to particulars lessen as we proceed, when the fatal consequences of disunion become more evident every day." This explicit language will inflict a grievous blow on the Conservatives, who, through one of their most -influential organs, the Morning Post, have been very busy of late in heaping hyperbolical compliments on Lord BROUGHA M, arid pretty broadly intimating their opinion that he is strongly disposed in favour of Conservatism. The Post this morning appears quite to have made up its mind on this point, and is in ecstacies at the idea of his Lordship's recovery, because he will no doubt devote his renewed energies to a systematic opposition against Ministers. We need not say that our Con temporary, and those whose opinions he represents, will find themselves most egregiously disappointed on this score. Lord BROUGHAM is no weather-cock, to shift and turn as the wind changes. Worlds could not bribe him to desert the cause of the people, and coalesce with their bitterest enemies. His past gives vouchers for his future conduct. As he has always been, so will he always be, the staunch advocate—to use his own emphatic language—" of the sacred and imprescriptible right of the people, in all parts of the empire, of whatever classes or colours or creeds, to the benefit of equal laws." We find, in one or two re spectable Sunday prints, attempts made to prejudice the minds of the Radical Reformers against Lord BROUGHAM. Surely this is mistaken, if not insidious policy I What good can possibly be derived from fomenting dissensions among Liberals ? Our only hope now consists in union—in the strictest and most binding union—and those who would endeavour to prevent this, and teach Reformers to distrust, instead of to confide in, each other, are playing the best game of the Conservatives.

The most interesting portions of these volumes— which, by-the-bye, are fully ch arge d w ith matter— are those which detail the author's conversations with Lafayette, at the period of the last French revolution, when the policy of the Hotel de Ville had not been wholly repudiated by Louis Philippe ; and the appearances that Paris presented on the me morable occasion of the funeral of General Lamarque, when, as may be remembered, a conflict took place be tween the people and the National Guard, which at one time threatened the overthrow of the new dy nasty. Mr. Cooper, who was himself in Paris at this critical period, and was an eye-witness of the disturb ance from its commencement to its final termination, seems to entertain little doubt that it was got up by the civil authorities with a view to dis gust France with the republicans, and terrify it into a support of the juste milieu system. If so, it certainly answered its object, though subse quent events have considerably loosened the hold which Louis Philippe once had on his subjects. It will not be long, we suspect, ere another tumultuous out break takes place in France, which will not be put down so readily as the former ones. The second volume is almost exclusively confined to sketches of Germany and Switzerland, in the course of which Mr. Cooper professes his veneration for Schiller, and his contempt for Goethe, who, he boldly says, had merely a " cod dled reputation." The volumes are extremely amusing, being light and piquant, and abounding in anecdote. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY) Charles Slater, who described himself as a clerk in his Majesty's Excise, applied upon his petition to be discharged. He was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of Edward Lemon, the detaining creditor, a cheesemonger, and by a creditor named Brett, in person. It appeared from the examination of the insolvent that his debts amounted to 1,0631., for all of which he had received consideration. There was no money due to him, and he had no property to give up. He had been clerk in the Excise for nearly ten years, with a salary varying from 1501. to 2501. per annum, and ascribed his insolvency to his wife's extravagance and her having contracted debts without his knowledge. He was at present separated from her, and allowed her 1001. a year out of his salary. In his schedule he had set down his salary at less than it really was, making a difference of 3851. He had also omitted the names of several persons to whom he was indebted, but ascribed these errors to severe indisposition under which he was at present labouring. His debt to Lemon, the opposing creditor, was 201. 2s. 7d., and in his schedule he had stated that at the time he was arrested he was not aware that he owed him any money, but that was a mistake, as he now recollects that Lemon called on him a few weeks previous to the arrest. He had put down 1001. for travelling expenses, and might have travelled one day with another female, but denied that he kept " a separate establishment." His present salary was 2001. per annum, out of which he paid his wife 1001: Mr. COOKE said of course the case must stand over to afford the insolvent time to amend his schedule. Insolvent—lf it is ordered to stand over I shall lose my situation altogether. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN-But you cannot swear to your schedule in its present state. Insolvent—l am willing to allow any portion of the 100/. a year to my creditors that the Court may think reasonable. The insolvent was then directed to amend his schedule, and to pay 30/. per annum out of his salary to his creditors. The people of the Stock Exchange have for some time been very indignant at those of their fraternity who gain their intelligence by means of carrier pigeons. One expedi ent for putting a stop to the system shows a knowledge of na tural philosophy wonderful in citizens. They maintain a re gular coast-guard of hawks and falcons on the Kent coast, to pounce on the unfortunate pigeons, and they have to a great extent succeeded. We perceive in almost all the country papers which have reached us during the last few days that notices for the commutation of tithes under the Act of last Session are every where being given. _ _ _ It is stafed that, notwithstanding all the boasted im provements in the construction of fire-arms, the accidents to life and limb this year, particularly since the commencement of the sporting season, are, at least double those of any former year.—Bath Herald. . _ _ On Saturday bight an inquest was held in the Board-room of St. George's Hospital, on the body of William Young, a fine youth, 14 years of age, who died from injuries received by a dreadful explosion of fireworks on the premises of Messrs, Lee, nurserymen, Vale-place, Hammersmith, on Thursday last. Mr. James Lee deposed that on Thursday afternoon the deceased, who was the son of the shopman, came in, having been sent out to watch the rising of the Vauxhall balloon, it being intended by witness and his brother to fire off a rocket on its being seen. Immediately on the deceased coming in, his father put something into his hand, and sent him into a room in which some fireworks were kept, and which were made by the father of the deceased for the amusement of witness and his brother. Shortly afterwards the shopman suddenly ran out of the room into which the deceased had gone, and witness then saw a quantity of smoke issuing from the apartment. On reaching the door he heard groans, and rushing; in, pulled out the deceased, who was lying behind the door, and had him conveyed to the hospital. The Jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental Death," at the same time expressing a strong opinion of the highly dangerous as well as illegal character of such amusements. The remains of Mr. Simpson were on Thursday interred at Braintree, and as a mark of respect most of the inhabitants partially closed their shutters during the funeral.— Essex Independent. There was a rumour in Paris on Thursday, but no credit was attached to it, that the Ulemas, who hate the Sultan's reform system, had made an attempt to poison him. A public meeting is to be held at the Music-hall, Newcastle-on-Tyne, for the purpose of taking the sense of the town as to inviting Sir William Molesworth to he a candidate for the representation of the borough at the next dissolution of Parliament. We understand the meeting will be numerously attended. Immediate protection is to be afforded to the French Consuls on the coast of the Spanish Peninsula. Five ships of war of Admiral Hugon's squadron have left Toulon for the Spanish coast. Mrs. Meader, late Miss Clara Fisher, has arrived at Liverpool from America, where she cleared 230,000 dollars. HORSES AND ACTORS.—It iS reported of Mr. Ducrow, that once, while superintending the rehearsal of a grand equestrian spectacle, he addressed a biped performer, who was a little too forward in the scene, in these words : " Get out of the way, Sir; stand back ; would you have the assurance to stand before a horse ?" . . Mr. Graham's inability to inflate his balloon in time to ascend on Wednesday evening at Leicester, and the disap pointment felt by the mob, and their consequent riotous con duct, were followed on Thursday morning by still greater e3Ccesses. Mr. Graham promised to complete the inflation of the balloon on Thursday morning early, and to ascend ; but, greatly to the vexation of the people, a report was spread that the aeronaut had discharged the gas during the night, packed up the balloon, and gone no one knew where. On the receipt of this news nothing could exceed the fury of the lower orders, who proceeded in a body to the cricket-ground, where they seized every combustible article, chairs, benches, forms, and tubs and machines used in inflating the balloon— in fact, everything on the ground, and burned them in a large bonfire made for that purpose. The Mayor, attended by all the constables of the town, quickly made his appearance on the ground, which he cleared, but not before the greatest mis chief was done, when the mob congregated outside the en closure, and pelted the Mayor and constables with stones and missiles of all sorts. The rioters were not dispersed until after a considerable number were lodged in the gaol. One of the rioters, while driving in the top of a cask filled with vitriolic acid, forced some of the liquid into his face, from which he has lost the qtrcificith e - yes.--:Zeieester Mercury. SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER.— On Saturday morning a man named Harding, a carpenter, while proceeding to his work across a field belonging tp Mr. Macintosh, at the back of Davenport-street, Commercial-road East, saw a bundle lying on the ground; which be picked up, and it proved to be the body of a female child, wrapped up in a piece of black cotton. He immediately conveyed the body to the sta tion-house in King David-lane, and delivered it to the police. The child appears to be two or three days old ; there was a quantity of clotted blood about the head and face, which ap peared to be much bruised, and the breast-bone was forced in. The police are on the alert to discover the unnatural parent. Circumstances the most astounding , have come to our knowledge, connected with a court-martial which took place in the year 1829, in Jamaica, which will, when known, if we are not much mistaken, lead to a reform in the system of administering our military law, which has been long and loudly called for. = United Service Gazette. ------- Mr. Maclean, Governor of the British settlements on the Gold Coast of Africa, has arrived in England. Pre vious to his departure he received the thanks of the British residents for the manner in which he conducted the affairs of those settlements for a period of nearly seven years. In the early part of his government he succeeded by his prudence and good management, and by great perseverance, in concluding a treaty of peace with the late King of Ashantee, an object which it had for many years baffled all the efforts of preceding Gover nors to effect, and the attainment of whi . ch has greatly enhanced their commercial value and importance. This treaty was gua ranteed by two of the royal family of Ashantee placed as hos tages; they were youths, sons of the two immediate predeces sors of the present King, and by permission of the latter have been brought to England by Mr. Maclean for the purpose of completing their education. It is conceived that on their re turn to Ashantee they may, from their station and political in fluence in that country, be enabled in some degree to diffuse the blessings of civilization among their countrymen. Since Mr. Maclean's arrival in England, the merchants and others interested in the trade of the forts and settlements under his command have resolved to present him with a piece of plate, in testimony of their high opinion of his exertions. On Thursday last the brig Meg Merrilies put into Plymouth in a very shattered condition, having encountered a severe gale on Sunday off Scilly. She was bound from Liver pool to the coast of Africa, with a cargo of the value of twenty-two thousand pounds, great part of which must be un shipped, in order that she may be repaired : no lives were lost. —Plymouth Journal.

This morning the fresh sup plies are not considerable of any kind of corn. The millers being in want of fine dry Wheat, such was taken off readily at ls. per quarter advance on last Monday's prices, and the other qualities being chiefly tender and inferior, sold heavily, but not at lower prices. Barley of all decriptions maintain the terms of this day se'nnight. Beans that are dry meet a ready sale at last quotations. Peas of both kinds are not lower, but do not sell freely.

VIOLET ; OR, THE OPERA DANCER.—" It ought to be the object of a writer, especially of novels," says the Edinburgh Evening Post, " to present a picture of something which has not been handled by previous authors. Every effort, therefore, to diverge from the beaten track, and exhibit a new aspect of nature and human life, ought to be especially applauded; and it is for this reason that we entertain a high opinion of the merits of the present work, which shows that the purest and most virtuous aspirations can animate the heart even of an opera dancer. The work possesses an absorbing in terest as a narrative, characterised by the strongest marks of truth and reality, while, as a literary production, it at once charms and instructs." The nine musicians of the Lancers who deserted from Tournay to go and serve in Spain, and who were ar rested at St. Amand, have just been transferred from Mech lin to be placed in the French territory at the same spot where their arrests took place, and from which Belgian officers compelled them return to Belgium. According to all ap pearances they will proceed to Spain and join the corps in which they enlisted while at St. Amand. One of them, who returned to Belgium before the arrest of the others, is at Mechlin, and will be tried as a simple deserter. —Brussels Paper. HEATON NORRIS.—John Sharp, a schoolmaster, claimed in respect of a house in Ince-street, and the objection to his claim was that he was not rated for the premises on which he founded his claim. The collector produced his books, and to Mr. Sharp's confusion it was proved in " black upon white," that he was assessed for his school, and not for his house. Mr. Sharp_" I am prepared to prove from Walker's Dictionary' that a school is a house. A school you will therein find is a 'house of discipline,' a house of instruc tion.' " Mr. Turner---" What I a house of correction ?" (Laughter.) Mr. Sharp—" A house of instruction, I said, Sir." The worthy savant was then informed, that however profound and extensive his knowledge of etymology might be, his definition in this instance could not be received, and that his claim must be disallowed. He heard the decision with tolerable firmness, and retired, vindicating the accuracy of Walker and himself, as to a school being a legitimate house.—North Cheshire Reformer. The following is a recipe for cooking sea bream, which may be profitably applied to any other fish :—When properly cleaned, the fish should be wiped dry, but none of the scales should be taken off. In this state it should be broiled, turning it often, and if the skin cracks flour it a little to keep the outer case entire. When on the table the whole skin and scales turn off without difficulty, and the muscle be neath, saturated with its own natural juices, which the outside covering has retained, will be found of good flavour. As Miss Elizabeth Watson, aged 19, the daughter of Mr. Watson, of Horsforth, was returning home from Kirk stall on Thursday afternoon, she was met, in passing through Horsforth Wood by Joseph T. Walker, a weaver, who knocked her down and endeavoured to commit a capital offence. The poor girl struggled and screamed in a most piteous manner, which brought assistance, and the villain was secured. Her cries were distinctly heard for half a mile. The prisoner was brought up before the Magistrates at Leeds and remanded until Miss Watson should be able to attend ; but notice having been given that she was in a dangerous state from the injuries she had received, her depositions were taken at her father's house.— West Riding Herald. The insect which has made such havoc in the turnip crop is called the tenthredo. A t the Middlesex Sessions, on Saturday, a Juror, for himself and brethren, applied for some remuneration. The Chairman (Mr. Sergeant Adams) said the Court could not grant any pecuniary consideration. A Juror—Why, Jurors are paid in the King's Bench Court. Chairman—But we in an inferior Court have no power to remunerate. Another Juror—ln the Sheriff's Court they give us 4d. a trial.— (Laughter.) Chairman—You must be content with the re collection that you have well clone your duty. Mr. W. Al' William—And that you have the thanks of this bench and of the county.—(Laughter.)

My Lord Provost and Gentlemen,—As it is a ltogeth er impossible for me to express the feelings which your extra; ordinary kindness gives rise to, I should certainly not I n_ak i . the attempt, but that my silence might be misconstrued t entreat you then to be assured that upon neither of the ~mem orable occasions when I had the gratification of personally thankinc , my fellow-citizens of Edinburgh, for those sigewal marks of attachment which they were pleased to besto.; did I experience a higher degree of satisfaction than I d i, in the peculiar circumstances of the present moment ; and, looking back to those former celebrations, I cannot mo re strongly describe what I now feel. Permit me to add, that the hearty union of all the parties holding opinions friendly to Reform, greatly en hances in my eyes the value of the honour you have conferred upon _ me ; for I regard it as an earnest of the further s ucces ! , which may in future reward our combined efforts on belndt of those prineiples to which, though doubtless with shades of difference in detail, we are all, in the main, sincerely attached.
